LIVONIA, MI – John Walsh, a Republican candidate for the Michigan state legislature who is decrying the negative campaigning ascribed to his own party will be my guest on News Talk Online on Paltalk.com tomorrow.
Walsh, a Livonia, MI city councilman, has been endorsed by his hometown newspaper, the Livonia Observer, as well as by the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press. This, in itself, is unusual because the News and Free Press rarely agree politically. For example, the News has endorsed John McCain for president, the Free Press Barack Obama.
Walsh has made a concerted effort in his campaign to avoid negative attacks, focusing on the issues and his qualifications.
“I have consistently treated my opponent with dignity and respect before and during this campaign,” he says
He has publicly repudiated unauthorized brochures and robocalls that personally attack his opponent. In an election year where we are all bombarded by negative campaign ads, Walsh is a refreshing voice on the political scene.

DETROIT – Driving along Tireman Ave. on Detroit’s west side I came across a block where there were five houses in a row, boarded up on one side of the street and three more across the street.

Two factors could work against the polls that are reporting that Barack Obama has a lead over John McCain in the presidential race. The are crackers and Catholics.
Crackers as in racist white Americans who are voting less for McCain than against Obama because he is black.
A friend in Florida who voted early says there were scores of old white people at the polls saying that’s why they were voting for McCain. Because they just don’t feel comfortable with the idea of a black president.
Then there are the Roman Catholics across the nation who, according to my Catholic friends, were told at mass that they couldn’t remain Catholics if they voted for any candidate who is pro choice. Read: Obama.
Of course, most of my Catholic friends are smorgasbord Catholics. That is, they pick and choose what rules they want to follow.
Still, the Catholic vote is a significant one. And devout Catholics who might otherwise choose Obama could vote for McCain because of this religious edict.
